Indefinite Integrals and Derivatives

The video tutorial explains how to determine the indefinite integral or antiderivative of a given function. It begins by introducing the concept and proceeds to simplify the integrand by distributing terms. The tutorial then demonstrates the integration of each term using known formulas for secant squared and secant times tangent. Finally, it verifies the correctness of the antiderivative by differentiating it and comparing it to the original integrand, concluding with a summary of the process.
